Robbie Williams Live-Tweeted the Birth of His Child

British singer Robbie Williams is excited to be a dad. Really, really excited. So excited, in fact, that he couldn't stay off social media while his wife, actress Ayda Field, was in labor with their second child.

It started off innocently enough, posting a cute shot of Field's stilettos on the hospital bed:

Williams and Field took the time to explain the thought behind the social-media delivery: All the jokes and the interaction with fans helped Field take her mind off the pain. "No mommies were upset or harmed," Williams said. "We're really happy and honored that you experienced the journey with us." Field retorted, "I'm slightly drugged still." Sounds like a good sense of humor will serve Mom and Dad well.
